Let’s be honest; just about everyone has more than a few certain special sexy videos on their computer that’s near and dear to their … well, let’s just say heart, for the time being just to keep this on the SFW side of things.
Hot though they are, they’d be firey if somehow, somewhere you could put your eager-mittens on a piece of PC software that’d let you link it to your equally favorite Lovense product, giving you an extra-added level of sexual stimulation to an already streamy video.
This is precisely what Lovense’s given us courtesy of their brand new media player: an incredibly intuitive, flexible, and best of all, enjoyable way to combine their state-of-the-art sex toys with your adult entertainment library.
How to get started, you may ask? Don’t worry, ‘cause this is where we come in with our step-by-step guide to installing, setting up, and then matching your personally customized patterns of vibrational delights to what’s happening on your computer screen.
Getting started
Let’s first delve into what hardware you’ll need to be able to use The Lovense Media Player.
For the player itself—which is totally free, by the way—you need a PC running the current iteration Windows, 1.0.1 to be precise. Unfortunately, we don’t know if that’s a preference or a necessity, so anyone out there with older operating systems might want to upgrade before doing any installing.
Unfortunately, Apple computers are not currently supported. Still, considering that many of Lovense’s other apps are multi-platform, there’s a good possibility that they’ll release a Macintosh version in the not-too-distant future. Fingers crossed at any rate.
It’s also worth mentioning that The Lovense Media Player works on all kinds of video file types, so just about whatever you have on your hard drive will work. If for some odd reason, it doesn’t, we recommend programs like Handbrake that can quickly handle all your conversion needs.
The Lovense Media Player also comes automatically bundled with their desktop app, which we’ll soon see is essential to getting everything connected up and smoothly operating.
Connecting your Lovense toy
After downloading—and we did mention that it won’t cost you anything, right?—next you’ll need to figure out how to get the player to talk to your preferred Lovense sextoy.
And, we’re thrilled to be able to say, this isn’t just one or two specially designed toys but every single one of their products, without exception, meaning you have an even bigger reason to pick up multiple ones so you can have a blast figuring out which works best with what video.
How you get a Lovense toy to connect to their media player all hinges on that sextech mainstay: Bluetooth.
If your computer has it already built-in, then it’s smooth sailing from here. Just put your toy into Bluetooth standby mode. This is typically done by pressing and holding the power button, though consult your product’s manual or Lovense’s FAQ pages if you get stuck.
If your PC doesn’t have Bluetooth, you can still make your connections by either picking up an appropriate dongle, which can also be purchased from Lovense, or by using your smartphone as a kind of bridge.
Kuros yet again to Lovense because while that might sound intimidating, their excellent software makes this a walk in the sextech park.
If you haven’t done so already, install the—also free—Lovense remote app on your phone or tablet, which is available for Android and iOS. It probably doesn’t need to be mentioned, but just in case you’ll need a pretty current model to do this, and absolutely it’ll need Bluetooth. Otherwise, you’ll have to take that dongle route.
Next, connect your toy to the app. From there, you’ll be able to connect that to your PC via wifi. Again, this may take a bit of fiddling around, but because Lovense’s stuff works so well together, you’ll never rage quit over it.
VR pleasures
If you’re a fan of virtual reality, then the Lovense Media Player’s got you covered there as well by supporting a majority of the high-end systems like the HTC Vive, Samsung Gear. Oculus Rift, and others.
As the player can handle just about any kind of format, so too can it manage VR videos. Again, if, for some reason, you have compatibility issues, there are kinds of converters available as well as copious Lovense support docs to make your headache go away.
Speaking of uploading, Lovense yet again shows off their programming skills by making the entire process buttery smooth. All you need is to fire up the player, and then select a video or drag and drop it in and you’re ready to have fun. Huge files, however, may take a few minutes to get in there, so be patient.
One piece of advice, if your favorite video as an even-more favorite scene—you know, the one you end up skipping ahead to—then you may want to make a clip of that one scene rather than uploading the entire video. Not only will it be faster to load, but it will save you from having to fast forward to the good bit.
Creating a playlist
After your sextech hardware is talking to your PC hardware, you’ll want to step into the wild, wild, wild world of making your very own playlist of vibrations, oscillations, and stuff like-that-there for your toy.
And, wow, is that a blast to do—and effortless to boot! Get things rolling by selecting “Create A Pattern” then choose a toy or, if you’d prefer to do that later, just get right into the programming.
Not to sound like a broken record here, this is yet another testament to Lovense’s thoughtfulness of design as the whole process is delightfully simple; just use your mouse and keyboard to tweak your sextoy’s erotic actions as you scroll through your video.
One tiny piece of advice would be to take time to savor the options and experiment with the player’s multiple possibilities, as trying to leap as fast as possible into your preferred action can be a little frustrating. Instead, grab yourself a nice beverage, perhaps an array of fine cheeses, and treat it as a pleasant sexual hobby until you get familiar with the interface.
If you do want to spring right into things, then check out the player’s download option where you can test fire playlists that other Lovense users created—more on that in just a few paragraphs.
Once you have put the final few notes into your perfect erotic symphony, hit the save button so you can play the video back with your accompanying playlist anytime you want—with or without wine or cheese at your discretion.
Download and sharing
This is all fine and good, but what if you find yourself scratching your head over what to patterns to create—or perhaps need a boost of erotic inspiration?
Then look no further than the social aspect of The Lovense Media Player. But don’t trouble your head if you’re concerned about getting accidentally outed as the service is completely anonymous.
All that’s necessary is to create a Lovense account or sign in if you’ve previously made one from within the media player, check out what many generous souls have previously put together, download as many as you want, and get rocking!
Feeling magnanimous yourself? Then upload your own playlists and see what other Lovense’s fans have to say about it. As the old saying goes, giving can be way more fun than getting—even when it’s a set of vibrations and other fun sextoy (ahem) activities.
The verdict
If you’re here, you’re more than likely already a pretty big fan of Lovense and all their cool products, and if you’re that, we know you’ve got a whole library of sexy videos that get your motor revving.
Which is why—and then some—you should, right this very instant, try out the Lovense Media Player.
But not just because it’s a sweet piece of state-of-the-art sextech brought to us by a respected industry leader or that it’s an unmitigated blast to experience the action in a favorite adult film physically, but it can be just as exciting to make your own work of vibrating art as it is to play it back!
Let’s give Lovense and their development team a standing ovation for allowing us to enjoy a new level of immersive erotic entertainment and get a sexy thrill from making our own unique sexual creations.
